Real-Life 'Mad Man,' Richard Kirshenbaum Weighs In On Advertising

Richard Kirshenbaum, aka 'Don Draper-baum,' has lived a real Mad Men life.

He chronicles his advertising escapades in a memoir, Madboy: My Journey from Adboy to Adman. Having worked his way up from receptionist to millionaire ad exec, he's formulated this insight, "It's a people business."

Advertising maverick and renegade, he's worked with all of the heavy hitters, from Target to Snapple, and proven his mettle. From big to small, he's seen all of the trends along the way; literally big hair and shoulder pads in the 80's to today's small technology, ipads.

He still maintains that "advertising is the most fun you can have with your clothes on."
